“Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom.”

MY APPROACH
Having the right knowledge, insights and skills to change behavior is of course important. But in order to successfully maintain change and to stay motivated permanently, you have to start at the beginning. You have to start by first understanding what you actually need as an individual to live meaningful and to reach your potential. Which personal values drive you and what do they say about your current lifestyle? Identify and understand your ingrained habitual patterns of thoughts and behaviour. For they are the echo’s of your past and may hold you back in the here and now. See where they come from and what they tell you about what (more) you need to invest to get moving.
Exploring this first will result in less effort for you to maintain behavioral change in the longer term. And that will help you feel good about yourself, gain confidence that you can take a beating when circumstances are tough. Because what you want to change simply brings you closer to your personal mental and physical potential to live and work according to your values.
I work with you as a (lifestyle) coach based on scientifically proven approaches, in which Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) based coaching and Atomic Habits stand out. For example, we work on meaningful, first small steps that add up to a critical mass, resulting in major shifts that bring you closer to what yields the most for you.
Are you extra sensitive?
A healthy lifestyle, health-promoting routines and habits are also essential for resilience and support recovery and alleviate psychological and psychiatric (susceptibility to) complaints. It may also help you limit the risk for a relapse. Did you know that the chance of developing a serious, usually transient, psychiatric complaint at least once in your life is no less than 20%? The biggest risk is daily life itself. For that reason I also work on indication with Merijn Merbis, a clinical psychologist, to reinforce a treatment process.
